Tottemham and England midfielder Eric Dier has been banned for four games and fined £40,000 after his altercation with a fan following Spurs FA Cup loss to Norwich City in March.
The 26-year-old climbed into the stands after his team had lost the penalty shoot-out to confront a supporter who angered him at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs Jose Mourinho confirmed that Dier had reacted to insults directed to his younger brother.
The FA statement read: ‘’ “Eric Dier has been suspended for four matches with immediate effect, fined £40,000 and warned as to his future conduct following a breach of FA Rule E3.
“The Tottenham Hotspur FC player admitted that his actions at the conclusion of a fixture against Norwich City FC in the FA Cup on March 4, 2020 were improper but denied that they were also threatening.
“An independent Regulatory Commission subsequently found Eric Dier’s actions to be threatening.”
The ban comes into effect immediately meaning Dier will miss four of Spurs’ remaining five Premier League games including the London Derby against Arsenal on Sunday.
